Raffle Quilt Finally Finished

After a long and frustrating time of working with the Quilt Committee, the Log Cabin Star quilt is FINALLY done.  A lot of this quilt had to be ripped out and redone. The committee majority decided to have the quilt guild ladies sew the blocks.  I was in the minority here, but we had built in a "fudge factor" and made extras of each block, "just in case."  Thank goodness!  That saved us.  Some of the blocks were unusable.  One committee member sewed the blocks together, this part also had to be redone as the quilt didn't even halfway resemble a star.  Someone else sewed the borders on.  Someone with a long arm quilted it.  I put the binding on.  Just seemed like a big hodgepodge to me.

I put the binding on today, and that went very well.  It was the first time I ever sewed on a binding without having to go back and redo a section, or fix anything!  I was so happy!! Despite all the problems,  I have to admit, the quilt is very pretty, the fabrics are gorgeous and very high quality.  It's also BIG!  Around 104" square!  This will be a nice quilt to win!  I am just glad it is done and I don't have to work in a quilt committee for another 2 years!  I guess I am OCD about certain things, and I had to swallow my opinions about the quality of  other people's work. I need to work on that more.

Anyway, here is the finished quilt.
